What October feels like
Nevada Day at the end of the month is a real state holiday, and the parade down in Carson City is worth the drive. In town the cottonwoods along the Truckee go gold, the crowds thin, and the first dusting appears on Mount Rose.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 5 nights dip below freezing.
